Hyperballad by Björk by Robyn

Two long time favourits and one fantastic tune in two versions. First Robyn´s cover version of Björk´s Hyperballad during the Polar Price in Stockholm August 30th 2010, where she performed the song with Björk in the audience. 

And here is Björks original Hyperballad performed live during a 1996 Jools Holland Later show:

No matter how much i like Robyn, Björks version is better, not saying that Robyn´s version is bad. Because it´s not. Just different.

Which version of the Hyperballad do you prefere?

Röyksopp in Oslo

This was supposed the big night of Jean Michel Jarre (the skinny french dude with the lasers and the tune Oxygen) on Festningen 2010. He played with his mates, jumped up and down, but he didn´t move me. His music is like muzak on speed and a bit cheesy...me thinks. But he has some nice synths. In the end it was fireworks. Pyro good…yes!.

But before the rather boring Mr. Jarre, the audience was introduced to Röyksopp…happy time for me. Unfortunatly they had some technical problemes, but they managed to pull off a good show...in the pouring rain.

Also, Robyn made a guest appearance. Made my day, since I´ve never been able to see her live before. More Röyksopp and Robyn, please.

Ps. I know Mr. Jarre is a legende and all. Respect…but in my mind the show yesterday wasn´t very exicting. Sorry.

Creating music with an iPhone app

Impressing me thinks. People creating music on their iPhones with the Nanostudio app for iPhone:

NanoStudio iPhone demo 001 by virul3nt

The composer of the track sez:

I think every band, artist + DJ should have an iPhone

Heres a demo video from the Nanostudio people:

What do you think, is the iPhone a tool for creativity?

From Bande á Part to The Lords of the New Church

The classic dancing scene from Jean-Luc Godard's crime comedy Bande á Part.

It so impressed Quentin Tarantino that he named his movie production company A Band Apart, after the film and referenced it in Pulp Fiction.

Goddard later said that he would much rather Tarantino had just given him a lot of money instead. Bande a Part was released in the US as Band of Outsiders.

The dancing scene is also used in a music video for/by Nouvelle Vague and the song Dance With Me (I don´t know if the video is official or a mashup).

Dance With Me was originally recorded by The Lords Of The New Church:

Here today…Prance tomorrow

This track will probably disapear soon. Prance…or Prince is no fan of the interwebs and will probably demand this Dimitri from Paris re-edit of I Wanna Be Your Lover removed as soon as he hears (about) it. Enjoy…

Right on…

New album from a long time hiphop fav, the Roots - How I Got Over. Still remembering their last concert in Oslo. Boiing hot, a tuba, the crowd dancing and moving to the beats and a band that never stopped playing.

Here´s Right On:

Who´s gonna love you now?

Cee-lo is covering the Band of Horses No One's Gonna Love You. The video is interesting and kinda reminds me of a video I´ve shown here before.
